    There are two types of Load:
    1. Live Load
    2. Dead Load

    -Live loads are defined as the weight of nonstructural members, such as furniture, occupants,inventory, and snow. Live loads can also result in settlement of the structure.

    -Dead load is defined as the structural weight due to beams, columns, floors, roofs, and other fixed members. The dead load does not include nonstructural items.

    the loading can be of the following types:

    concentrated loading,
    uniformly distributed loading,
    uniformly varying load,
    rolling/moving loads,
    combination of the above loads.

    when we take a bridge for instance the dead load can be a train of fixed length and is in the form of udl. this we call "rolling load". when we design a railway bridge we take these into consideration. 😀
